Open Mic Winners From Week 40
Thanks to everyone who entered and supported Open Mic Week 40. Community support for Open Mic has been tremendous and is one of many projects bringing the music community together on Steemit.
This week broke a record on Steemit Open Mic for the most entries (over 80) thanks to all of you helping promote and support this project.
A big shout out to @pfunk for sponsoring Steemit Open Mic and getting the word out with his post titled, Hey Did You Know There's A Weekly Steem Open Mic Contest --- by @pfunk
I just want to remind everyone that votes are only part of the selection process. Entertainment value and performance is factored in too.
ALSO PLEASE REMEMBER TO SAY OPEN MIC WEEK 41 AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR VIDEO ON NEXT WEEKS ENTRIES If you don't say that you will not qualify for rewards (other than what your post makes) for this contest. Very important. Some of you would have won the last few weeks if you would just remember to say those words at the beginning of your video.
Also, remember to start your post title with the words "Open Mic Week 41" so we can find your post easily in the feed.
If you are playing an original song please add the word "Original" in your title somewhere so we can find you and award you a bonus.
The coolest thing about Open Mic is it brings the Steemit community together and that is the whole point of this project.
Thanks to @pfunk for helping to sponsor Open Mic and he's even generously been giving Steem bonuses to participants posting original music. You can vote for @pfunk to remain a Steemit witness by clicking here and voting for @pfunk.
If you like Steemit musicians be sure to check out Huge Post Alert Steemit Artist Music Compilation Volume 1 Release Is Here 51 Multi Genre Original Songs From 55 Music Artists On --- by @soundlegion
Yes, a lot of you guys are on this compilation.
@jessamynorchard started a new Facebook page for Steemit Musicians you can read about here or go straight to the page here. A lot of players from Steemit Open Mic are there. Thanks @jessamynorchard!
You can also meet up with us on Discord at The Steemit Local Musicians Society
Steemit Open Mic is not about winning or losing, it's about building a connection on Steemit through music. Watching the collaboration happen online between musicians who played and met on Steemit Open Mic is very rewarding and many of the people who play and post earn some nice rewards for playing a song.
For many, it's easier to get some Steem in your tip jar by playing for Steemit Open Mic than it is to play music on the street.
This week is a new record again for number of entries and the talent keeps getting better. You guys are awesome and making it harder to choose winners. It also seems like some of you are earning some good payouts for your posts which is great. Makes me so happy to see that.

Open Mic Week 41 - Record Your Performance On Your Phone, Enter And Win Steem - Sponsored by @pfunk @luzcypher
Special thanks to @kevinwong for guidance and sponsoring, @verbal-d for inspiration and @pfunk for sponsoring Open Mic and all the Steemians who voted for the musicians.
Great performances!
This Open Mic may be the best contest/challenge type event on Steemit.
Not only is it great for the musicians but it brings a lot of people together in real ways and I feel has a LOT of potential to bring in a lot more users and a LOT more attention to the Steemit Platform.
I am stoked to see so many entries and especially the growing amount of entries and engagement.
Though there was over a hundred entries and there are less than 100 up votes on this post. I sure hope it gets a lot more support. I mean 300 was paid out just in prizes alone and the post is only sitting at $78.
I am going to make it a priority to help get this more exposure and support.
Thanks for starting, sticking with and helping flourish this event. I feel it has great value~

Thanks @quinneaker. I'm happy to host so many talented musicians on Steemit. I was kind of hoping it would be self-sustaining by now but not everyone who enters upvotes the post. I do however upvote every one of the posts from people who enter. I don't know why they don't all upvote it but I'll be running it regardless. Many thanks to @pfunk for helping sponsor Steemit Open Mic and to all who support it.
A big thank you to @luzcypher and @pfunk and the judges who chose to put my song Saawaria in the third place. I am so honored to be chosen out of so many contenders.
Congratulations @trilumia and @aurealistic for winning.
This open mic contest is getting bigger every week.
Lets Steem on.
Peace and love.
Thank you @atulmittal same to you brother! Steem on
Congratulations @atulmittal. Great performance.
Sweet! Congrats to all you badasses! <3
Thanks for putting this all together! I think I can speak for everyone that this open mic has really brought the community together. Congrats to the winners and thank you @pfunk for sponsoring.
It seems to be taking on a life of its own, right? Thanks for being part of it and for your continued support.
Stay tuned in because we have some surprises in the development of Steemit Open Mic coming soon.
I can't imagine the amount of work that goes into making a post like this. Great work, and very enjoyable to scroll through and pick things almost at random to listen to.
It is a hell of a lot of work. Thanks for appreciating that and thank you to all the talented musicians on Steemit and everyone who helps and supports Steemit Open Mic.
I love how so many people are on this. Great job in putting all this together @luzcypher and @pfunk!
It is SO much fun listening to all this music.
Nice!! Congrats @trilumia, you guys put a smile on a LOT of people's faces this week. Thank you! :-) Fantastic idea!
Thank you @luzcypher @kevinwong, @verbal-d and @pfunk. You guys are awesome, truly. We feel so flattered to be picked amongst so so many great posts.
Congratulations to all the participants, such a wonderful project. So many talented musicians playing and singing the music they like and how they like it. Knowing each other and collaborating. It's just a beautiful sight.
You all rock!! :-) Good luck this week 41, I've seen some pretty good ones already. So many great people to follow!

I love musics. I hope I can do the stuff like you guys.
Hope somebody will teach me how to play music someday. Hehe
I wanted to donate 200 whaleshares to next week's prize pool and will be able to do that every week if you want. Just leave me a bitshares/openledger username to send them too.
Great idea. Kudos!
